First I must say, yay Henrys are the best!! Second - I love the idea of a sibling ring and what a beautiful way your sister surprised you with it. Third, I can’t think of my latest gift that really surprised me (it’s the summer holidays and my brain is currently a pile of mush) but I recently made my best friends collages of them when they were pregnant. I wanted to give them a memento of a time that was just theirs that everyone else will forget about. I made them cry - that wasn’t my goal but it felt nice that it had touched them so emotionally. X
Oh Beth that's so beautiful!! It's absolutely gifts like that that people never forget - what a wonderful and thoughtful idea. It makes me reflect on that time of my life - you're right it is a really special time that gets forgotten. My sibling ring made me cry!! Summer holiday mush brain must be a thing - am exactly the same! 🤣 💕
Love this so much Emma, we had a Henry when I was younger, they are fabulous aren’t they? I think my favourite gifts are a necklace that my husband gave me on my wedding day and a soft toy dinosaur that my sister in law gave me, that sleeps in my bed!
Absolutely Emma. I also have a bunny, an Italian mole and a colony of seals! I actually started writing a children’s story about them, but it I didn’t get passed a chapter. 🐰🦭🦖😂
I have a whole series of children's stories too!! I don't know that they'll ever see the light of day. My daughter definitely takes after me, there is an entire penguin colony on her bed, quite a few sloths and a fluffy cup of tea and slice of toast. Just brilliant 🤣
Who would have thought that giving my daughter a bloody vacuum cleaner could have produced such a lovely piece of gratitudinous (word?) writing and leave me with a lovely warm feeling tonight! I got something right for a change!!!
